Bald Peak Colony Club Top 100 Review

Bald Peak Colony Club is a par 72 Donald Ross design course located in New Hampshire, showcasing 18 holes with multiple tee boxes accommodating all skill levels. From the #5 tee, the course stretches 6,515 yards, and 6,204 yards from the Men's tee. A Golf Week course rater called it "The best course in New Hampshire."

The course features elevated greens, gentle sloping fairways, and stunning views throughout, with prominent vistas of Lake Winnipesaukee and surrounding mountains. Characterized by classic Ross design elements, including false fronts, severe green slopes, strategic bunker placement, and challenging undulations, Bald Peak presents a demanding layout that rewards precise shot-making.

Notable holes include the downhill par 4 fourth hole with lake views, the demanding par 4 seventh hole (ranked #1 handicap), and the spectacular par 5 ninth hole offering sweeping vistas of the lake and surrounding landscape. The course has hosted significant tournaments, including an International Exhibition match in August 1922 between American and British teams. Today, the club offers comprehensive programming including member tournaments, family events, and instruction for all ages, maintaining a reputation for superior course conditions and welcoming atmosphere.
